Martha Nussbaum has a terrific essay on the problem of knowing others in "To the Lighthouse," called, "The Window: Knowledge of Other Minds in Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse.'"
The essay you recommended from "Mimesis" was (as you said) a fantastic close reading of the brown stocking chapter. I'll look forward to reading this essay as well. Thank you for the recommendations.

Thank you!
Lily’s searching for the essence of Mrs. Ramsey, how to describe it, the “glove’s twisted finger” is amazing.
